ACTIVITY 4: EXPLAIN…EXPLAIN
Explain how geothermal energy flows in a geothermal power plant using the
diagram below. Use a separate sheet of paper for your answers.
Answer
Geothermal energy flows in a geothermal power plant by extracting hot water or steam from underground reservoirs through production wells. The hot water or steam is then used to turn turbines, which generate electricity. The cooled water is then injected back into the reservoir through injection wells to maintain the pressure and temperature of the reservoir. This process is known as a closed-loop system.
